Pink Protein Power Pancakes

This morning Isaac asked if next time we could make the pancakes a different color. I guess it all depends on what purees I have available. Chloe is requesting purple--maybe I'll experiment with blue or blackberries. I feel like a Native American or something--using my all-natural dyes. Hee, hee.

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour batter, 1/4 cup at a time, onto hot skillet. Cook until bubbly, then flip. Serve with light or sugar-free syrup.

*I tripled this recipe for my kids--although I could have gotten away with just doubling it. Also, I made the batter last night and refrigerated it. This morning it was really, really thick so I added some milk to thin it out. I think the beet flavor is a bit stronger than some of the other purees, so don't double or triple it. And you do need syrup. Trust me on this one.

And I tried a different brand of Greek yogurt this morning. I thought it tasted like vomit. But that is just me. Ryan likes it. I'm going to stick with the other kind for me at least.

I'm Lindsay. I'm a wife and mother of four. I'm a certified personal trainer. I'm passionate (some may say obsessive) about a lot of things, but one of my biggest passions is creating a healthy lifestyle for myself and my family. I want to enjoy living a long, vibrant life and I want to teach my kids that it's not about a number on a scale or the size of clothes you wear, it's about how you treat yourself.

We try to eat healthy foods. We exercise a lot. We try to balance work, church, school and other obligations while spending as much quality time together as we can doing things that are good for us. We are far from perfect, but we enjoy the journey!

I often have people ask me about my work out routine, or for a recipe or a snack suggestion. I decided to start blogging about it to make it easier for all! Who knows if anyone will read this, but I like the idea of having all my random healthy thoughts and ideas in one place.
